Shine Bright Quiz

The Shine Bright Quiz is the perfect combination of ready-made fun and fundraising!

We’ve made it really easy by providing everything you need to run your own quiz. You could host it online, in the local pub, a local hall, at home, at work, or wherever you like.

We recommend setting a minimum donation per person. You can also boost your fundraising by adding a meal (and charging more!), holding a raffle or tombola, or perhaps selling cakes and sweets. You could also offer a token prize for the winning team, to encourage more participants to join in.

Ready-Made Fun That Fundraises

We've made hosting your charity quiz fundraiser incredibly straightforward. Everything you need is right here, ready to print and use. Whether you're planning a virtual quiz fundraiser, organising a quiz night at your local pub, booking a community hall, or simply gathering friends at home, the Shine Bright Quiz adapts to any setting.

Your workplace team might enjoy a lunchtime quiz challenge, while families often love hosting quiz nights that bring different generations together. The beauty of our fundraising quiz ideas is their flexibility – you choose the venue, the atmosphere, and the scale that works best for your community.

 

Boost Your Fundraising Impact

We recommend setting a minimum donation per person to ensure your charity quiz event raises meaningful funds. However, there are countless ways to increase your fundraising total and create an even more engaging experience:

Food and Refreshments

  • Organise a themed dinner before the quiz begins
  • Arrange a simple buffet with sandwiches, crisps, and cake
  • Partner with a local restaurant for catering
  • Create a "bring and share" feast where teams contribute dishes

Additional Fundraising Activities

  • Hold a raffle with donated prizes from local businesses
  • Set up a tombola with smaller gifts and treats
  • Organise a charity auction during the interval
  • Sell homemade cakes, biscuits, and sweets throughout the evening
  • Offer a "phone a friend" lifeline for difficult questions (for a small donation)

Themed Quiz Night Ideas

  • 80s and 90s music quiz with period costumes encouraged
  • Family-friendly quiz with questions suitable for all ages
  • Local history quiz celebrating your community
  • Movie and TV quiz with film clips and soundtracks
  • Sports quiz perfect for pub quiz nights
  • General knowledge quiz with bonus specialist rounds

Prizes and Incentives Consider offering token prizes for winning teams – perhaps a small trophy, vouchers from local businesses, or even just certificates. These encourage participation while keeping costs minimal, ensuring more money goes directly to Shine's vital work.
